Uneven Development
Uneven development is when resources are not distributed evenly.
When it comes time to choose what type of college you want to attend there is usually one big debate that is usually brought up. The debate that surfaces is Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) vs. Predominantly White Institutions (PWI).
HBCUs are know for there deep rooted since of family culture, in which PWIs lack. While PWI are know for their “supposedly rigorous courses”. HBCUs often are not given the same amount of funding as PWIs are.
When Olivia Sedwick made the financially-conscious choice to attend a historically black college over Baylor, Marquette, Xavier and Purdue,
According to Dr. Julianne Malveaux, “If the endowments of all 105 HBCUs were added up, they’d still amount to less than 10 percent of Harvard University’s endowment, which at upward of $30 billion is the wealthiest of any college in the world.”
This has created hardships for people who want to attend HBCUs but are not receiving enough funding to do so.
